Earlier today<\/a> I went over what we can expect Brandon Aiyuk, & Javon Kinlaw\u2019s 5th<\/sup>-year options could look like, so I\u2019ve decided to expand on that with a look past 2023, into 2024.<\/p>\n

Right now, the 49ers have 24 players signed for 2024, accounting for $177,536,462, along with $819,000 in projected dead money from Oren Burks, giving them a total commitment of $178,355,462, leaving them $77,644,538 under a projected $256 million cap, but that\u2019s with just 24 players signed, so whe you add in enough for 51 players, they\u2019d be $56,179,538 under a projected $256 million cap.<\/p>\n

Below are the 24 players currently signed for 2024, with their cap numbers.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. WR 19 Deebo Samuel(2025)- $28,572,000<\/li>\n

  3. DT 91 Arik Armstead(2024)- $25,866,000<\/li>\n
  4. MLB 54 Fred Warner(2024)- $22,100,000<\/li>\n
  5. TE 85 George Kittle(2025)- $19,842,575<\/li>\n
  6. CB 7 Charvarius Ward(2024)- $15,405,000<\/li>\n
  7. QB 5 Trey Lance(2024)- $10,851,673<\/li>\n
  8. FB 44 Kyle Juszczyk(2025)- $7,588,750<\/li>\n

  11. DE 95 Drake Jackson(2025)- $1,590,561<\/li>\n
  12. CB 20 Ambry Thomas(2024)- $1,425,154<\/li>\n
  13. RB 32 Tyrion Davis-Price(2025)- $1,393,240<\/li>\n
  14. WR 6 Danny Gray(2025)- $1,375,883<\/li>\n
  15. RG 74 Spencer Burford(2025)- $1,153,014<\/li>\n
  16. RT 76 Jaylon Moore(2024)- $1,135,759<\/li>\n

  18. SS 29 Talanoa Hufanga(2024)- $1,115,038<\/li>\n
  19. RB 25 Elijah Mitchell(2024)- $1,100,893<\/li>\n
  20. CB 24 Samuel Womack III(2025)- $1,055,831<\/li>\n
  21. LG 63 Nick Zakelj(2025)- $1,032,590<\/li>\n
  22. NT 93 Kalia Davis(2025)- $1,018,003<\/li>\n
  23. QB 13 Brock Purdy(2025)- $1,004,253<\/li>\n
  24. RB 24 Jordan Mason(2024)- $988,334<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As I said in my article about Aiyuk, & Kinlaw\u2019s 5th<\/sup>-year options, I don\u2019t expect either to hit the Pro Bowl tier, just because it\u2019s so loaded in the NFC for both WR & DT.<\/p>\n

    For Kinlaw, you have the likes of Aaron Donald(Rams), Leonard Williams(Giants), Vita Vea(Buccaneers), Jonathan Allen(Commanders), Kenny Clark(Packers), Grady Jarrett(Falcons), & Fletcher Cox(Eagles), so it\u2019s unlikely Kinlaw makes the pro bowl.<\/p>\n

    As for Aiyuk\u2019s competition for the pro bowl, you have his teammate & friend Deebo Samuel, plus the likes of A.J. Brown(Eagles), Cooper Kupp(Rams), D.K. Metcalf(Seahawks), Terry McLaurin(Commanders), Tyler Lockett(Seahawks), & D.J. Moore(Panthers) to compete with, and it\u2019s hard to imagine both Deebo & Aiyuk being selected, but I wouldn\u2019t be one to complain,.<\/p>\n

    So, with that all said, I expect Aiyuk to hit the playtime tier, which would give him a $13.594 million 5th<\/sup>-year option, which of course becomes fully guaranteed once exercised, and as for Kinlaw, I expect him to get the basic tier, which would be $9.673 million, again fully guaranteed, but that\u2019s a great number for Kinlaw, especially if he breaks out this season.<\/p>\n

    So, if we add in both of these numbers, the 49ers projected salary cap room goes to $54,377,538 with 26 players signed, but with the top 51 rule, they\u2019d have $34,502,538, but of course this doesn\u2019t include any 2023 draft picks, or 2024 draft picks, as it\u2019s way too early, and hard to project those.<\/p>\n

    If the 49ers are up against the cap in 2024, they have options to create cap room, as they could extend the likes of Charvarius Ward($9.148 million saved), and Arik Armstead($12.96 million saved).<\/p>\n

    Of course, the 49ers would likely try to lock up Aiyuk, & Kinlaw before 2024 comes along, if both play good to great, plus you have Nick Bosa, who will get a new deal next offseason, and the 49ers should be able to get him to have a cap number in the $14 million range for 2024, with the higher cap hits hitting in 2025, & beyond, which would give the 49ers $40,377,538 with 27 players signed, & $21,297,538 with 51 players signed, but again this doesn\u2019t include draft picks, or potential extensions, or restructures.<\/p>\n

    Now, if for some reason Kinlaw can hit the playtime tier, that would be an extra $1.478 million, meaning their cap room would go down to $38,899,538 with 27 players signed, & $19,819,538 with 51 players signed.<\/p>\n

    There you have it, a look at 2024, when taking into account Brandon Aiyuk, & Javon Kinlaw\u2019s projected 5th<\/sup>-year options.<\/p>\n
